Dick, Gary and Randy align the driving boxes under the pedestal jaw
openings. The driving boxes, which sit on the axles, were tack welded
together with scrap pipe to keep them vertical during the movement process.
The pipes were removed as the locomotive was lowered, and when the driving boxes
engaged the frame pedestal jaws to hold them upright.
